MAGA rep rails against 'tone deaf' GOP senator — in defense of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Saturday saw an unlikely person jump to her defense in a feud with a GOP senator over the weekend.

It started with Sen. John Kennedy, a Republican, attacking Ocasio-Cortez and her past bartending experience.

Kennedy said, "The congresswoman is kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience."

That didn't sit well with MAGA lawmaker Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. She said, "I don't agree with a lot AOC does and I can debate with her on it but to knock her or anyone for being a bartender is not a 'hit,' it’s tone deaf."

She went on to say, "Plenty of people don’t come from political pedigree. There are plenty of people who go through school etc. and are hardworking Americans and they have the right to run for office. Shoot, half of DC spends its time in bars and love the bartenders."

She concluded, "NO TAX ON TIPS AND NO TAX ON OVERTIME is FOR the service industry workers. Focus on calling out McConnell for BLOCKING THE SAVE ACT. THATS A WIN! @SenJkennedy."

For her part, Ocasio-Cortez responded to Kennedy by saying, "My having been a waitress makes me 1000x more qualified to govern on behalf of working people than whatever lifelong politician nonsense you’ve swung from your whole career."

"Why should working people vote for you if this is what you think of them?" she asked.

What Pacers Must Consider In Extensions For Bennedict Mathurin Or Aaron Nesmith

The post What Pacers Must Consider In Extensions For Bennedict Mathurin Or Aaron Nesmith appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. PORTLAND, OREGON – JANUARY 19: Bennedict Mathurin #00 of the Indiana Pacers and Aaron Nesmith #23 box out Duop Reath #26 of the Portland Trail Blazers during the fourth quarter of the game at the Moda Center on January 19, 2024 in Portland, Oregon. The Portland Trail Blazers won 118-115. (Photo by Alika Jenner/Getty Images) Getty Images INDIANAPOLIS – While the Indiana Pacers free agency period has slowed significantly – all they have done since their July 24 two-way agreement with Taelon Peter is sign Jalen Slawson to an Exhibit 10 deal – they still have two contract negotiations to consider before the season starts. Guard Bennedict Mathurin as well as wing Aaron Nesmith are both eligible for a contract extension this offseason, and they both have drastically different considerations guiding financial dialogue with the team. Mathurin is eligible for a rookie-scale extension until October 20. Nesmith, meanwhile, could sign a veteran extension this offseason, and his agreement has the same deadline. Once the regular season arrives, both players won’t be able to sign any new deals until next summer. There is a time restriction. Both Nesmith and Mathurin are talented and relatively young. In theory, that’s the type of player a team would want to keep – but things are never that simple. The Pacers are currently under the luxury tax and project to be about $20-26 shy of that threshold next season, then $70-79 below it in 2027-28 – the year Nesmith’s extension would kick in. A lot can change for a team’s roster and salary outlook, so those numbers may not end up being relevant. But that flexibility is a part of the story when it comes to the Pacers extension negotiations with both players – and the salary chatter for both projects to be different. “Yeah,…
